TSG start 17/18 season at home to Bremen

Matchday three sees the reigning champions FC Bayern München come to Sinsheim. Julian Nagelsmann and his team have no reason to fear the German giants, having beating them 1-0 at home in the previous season. It was Hoffenheim’s first win against Bayern. The Baden derby takes place on matchday seven, when TSG head south to face Freiburg.

2017 ends with two cracking fixtures to look forward to: first TSG welcome the newly-promoted VfB Stuttgart for the Baden-Wurttemberg derby, before heading north to Dortmund to face BVB on matchday 17.

"We’re really looking forward to the Bundesliga opener now," said Alexander Rosen, TSG’s director of football. "It’s great to open the new season at home. We have some very challenging fixtures awaiting us with Bremen, Leverkusen and FC Bayern."
